We performed a comparison between Imperva Web Application Firewall and Radware Bot Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Imperva Web Application Firewall is stable."
"We can prevent attacks or issues even before they happen."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall is a highly stable solution and is very mature."
"It mitigates all of the availabilities of risks around web applications."
"Very scalable and very stable firewall for web applications, with a good interface in its cloud version. Mitigation is its most valuable feature. The technical support for this product is also good."
"There are many features. There is ease of deployment. You can deploy the Imperva Web Application Firewall in two to three minutes. After that, you have to set the policies. For setting policies, you have toggle buttons. You can turn something on or off."
"Learning mode and custom policies are helpful features."
"The configurability of the tools and the ease of operation to be the most valuable feature of Imperva."
"The solution provides a rating of the sophistication of the bot attack."
"Bot Manager is an excellent tool for analyzing traffic to detect suspicious patterns. It uses artificial intelligence to identify malicious behavior."
"The most valuable feature is the bot management itself and the way it has stopped bots from scraping our site, with its AI mechanism. Its ability to detect and mitigate bots is really good."
"It's very good at categorizing the different types of bots, whether they're malicious or good. Bot is a very generic term. It could be good, it could be bad. Quite a lot of legitimate businesses are using bot-type services to just scrape the internet for information."
"I like how Bot Manager automatically detects when a suspicious user attempts to download content from your website."
"Bot Manager's behavioral modeling and intelligence help us distinguish between harmless and malicious bots."
"Sometimes, support tickets don't get addressed quickly."
"The solution works for particular zones but isn't always the best solution for all zones."
"An improvement for Imperva WAF would be to reduce the number of false positives and create more strong use cases based on AI/ML or behavioral analytics."
"It should be more user-friendly. Like other web solutions, it would be helpful to be able to easily do policy configuration and identification inside the application. Understanding the in-depth configuration of a policy is somewhat difficult for an engineer, and they can improve that."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall could improve the console by making it easier to use."
"It would be useful if the solution used more intelligence in attack protection. For example, firewalls are to be dependent on the configuration, but if they could have some data science around it the solution would be even better. The profiling of the traffic, and making decisions surrounding that should be intelligence-based, instead of being based on the configuration of the firewall itself."
"The reporting is missing some features, such as: only two export formats, and the time period does not include the last day, week, year."
"Their portal is very limited and needs improvement."
"We're missing links to their modules for installation and configuration. They have most of them available already, but there were situations for mobile applications that, when they released a new version, were not stable. We had to ask them to send a link by email, and that could be made accessible in the portal."
"Radware Bot Manager is a little costly but not too expensive. It's in the middle."
"Bot Manager is doing its job, but I think the behavioral modeling could be improved by adding fingerprinting and automation. Remediation should be automated so that it doesn't require any intervention by the user."
"I would like more ability to configure custom rules. Currently, I need to open a ticket with support to request a specific rule that isn't available in the console. In some cases, I don't have visibility into the logs or they are too complicated to analyze."
"It would be good to have more integrations. It's very hard to get data in and out of their portal. It doesn't have any integrations with any of our tools, such as our SIEM tool. It only depends on emails. Having that tied into the warehouse, SIEM, and maybe our on-call tools would be very helpful because it would just give us a holistic picture of everything."
"It would be beneficial to have a link from the WAF to the Bot Manager portal available so we do not have to log in again."
